Sheyla is a dancer from the Czech Republic who fell in love with Egypt and especially the folklore of the country. Funoon Shaabeya, her latest documentary film focuses on Egyptian traditional artists and folklore, which she’ll be discussing with us today

She’ll explore the significance of folklore, the importance of studying with people from the cultures, and how we can approach this heritage with respect and appreciation while dancing folklore.

It’s foundational to any style of bellydance. Yes, even fusion. There is so much to learn and appreciate at the roots of this dance as you’ll hear from Sheyla.
